Original Note:
The number of migrants arriving by small boats since 1 Jan is already higher than this time last year. https://www.migrationwatchuk.org/channel-crossings-tracker Whilst small boat crossing fell last year vs 2022, some claim this was partly due to poor weather conditions in the English Channel. https://www.ft.com/content/ebb7af60-02b8-4175-bd58-db6a1015df87 https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/jan/01/small-boat-arrivals-in-britain-likely-to-rise-in-2024-says-border-force-officials-union
